Four creative outdoor decking ideas

Creating an outdoor living space that suits your personal style, expectations and the nitty gritty landscaping detail can be daunting. Provided you have got the right solution for the job and easy-to-install materials, it is possible to create a beautiful outdoor entertaining area within a few days.

See how Outdure has brought their clever QwickBuild framing system and ResortDeck composite decking together to create four different backyard aesthetics. And you too can start dreaming up a beautiful outdoor space you’d like to share with friends and family for years to come.

LOOK 1

Relaxed coastal vibes

Extend the light and breezy aesthetic of your main house with an al fresco entertainment area in ResortDeck’s ‘SeaSalt’. Because the QwickBuild frame can be leveled to the height of your existing dwelling the ResortDeck decking will flow seamlessly from your indoor space, giving the sense of an oversized living and entertaining area. An exposed outdoor area is no problem for ResortDeck. It’s resistant to UV, scratch and moisture, making it a durable, long-lasting decking solution that’s ready to face the elements.

Putting up a front

Your front entrance is one of the most important features of your home – making an impressive statement sets the tone for the rest of your house. If your entry is quite a way above the ground the QuickBuild frame is suitable for a range of deck heights (from ultra low to 3 metres) and allows you to easily create a gradual elevation right up to the front door. Extending your stairway into a front veranda also helps to create a sense of space and utilise an area often overlooked as a space for entertaining and relaxation.

Modern outdoor elegance

QuickBuild and ResortDeck are ideal for projects of any size, demonstrated in the outdoor areas of this sleek, modern home. ResortDeck in ‘Sunset’ fits in seamlessly with the house’s muted colour scheme, and is easily installed over the Global Green Tag certified QwickBuild framing system. The QwickBuild aluminium profiles have a flat edge to ‘top fix’ hardwood decking boards onto, while the profile is rotated with the channel edge up for composite decking boards and fixed with a hidden twist clip. Hidden fixings ensure a sophisticated, sleek finish.

Close to nature

If you want your outdoor space to channel natural, earthy vibes, it’s hard to go past ResortDeck in ‘Havana’. A semi-exposed deck allows for plenty of light and gives an illusion of more space. ResortDeck’s composite structure means you get the look and feel of an oiled timber deck with the added benefit of being splitter-free, termite-proof and resistant to scratch, fade and UV rays. Lush green foliage surrounding your deck will serve as a natural protection from wind and as a privacy screen to truly feel at one with nature.
